Probably be this, I upgraded the r/r last year but not the stator. Seems plausible that the battery hasn't been charging on my shortish run

Sorted, daft shite didn't reconnect the RR stator ground wire, it was tucked away so the battery wasn't charging at all. My mate charged the battery fully (it's only one year old and is a Yuasa no cheap shite), boom started straight away and is 14.2v whilst idling

nice
your stator will be fine then. Mine was totally goosed, battery voltage dipped with the engine on compared to off.

Nice dodge out today on a gig free weekend
Durham ,Staindrop, Richmond, Leyburn, Kettlewell and looped back
Mostly blue sky's
Harley roll ons putting big smiles on my face and leaving random unfaired spider eye headlamp things in the distance

MOT booked for Monday, I think it's done less than 1000 miles since the last one so all should be fine. Last one as a teenager.

I planned on going to the Brooklands Motorcycle Show today but £20 entry on the gate! I was expecting it to be a tenner or something. I'll give it a miss and just go out for an early morning blast before the Sunday Lemmings clog up the roads.

250 miles yesterday through the Dales to Kirkby Lonsdale and back- testing the new gadget- Garmin Zumo sat nav. Took me on some great roads. Although I bottled the steep rocky hill climb to Scar house reservoir.

Passed no bother. 940 miles this year. Stupid me hasn’t fully tightened the rear master brake cylinder from when I did the cam chain tensioners, so it failed first, then passed straight away.

Where do you take it mate? I take mine to Darvins and he does pick up on any little thing but at least it's cheap enough. Last year it failed because of a rear reflector below the plate, it's never had one and passed the previous 2 years, only charged a £5 like
